In the heat of trial and tribulation, when our faith is being severely tested, we can be tempted to panic. We must be mindful to pray, and to pray in faith.

We know all too well that our flesh continually resists prayer. How much more challenging would it be if prayer were against the law?

We are really good at talking about faith when all is well, but our true faith is revealed in the moment of our most severe trials. Our Lord Jesus set the example for us. "He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God." - Matthew 27:43  Read More

There is so much that is wrong in our world right now with sin bounding and the righteous often suffering mistreatment. But God is on the throne, and He has always been.

Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting." Psalm 93:1-2  Read More

The trials and troubles of life that seem to be intent on destroying us are actually working for us. They are not in control. Our God is. "And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." - Romans 5:3-5  Read More

Every person lives in bondage to sin from which we cannot escape. But the Lord can surely deliver us. "And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me." - Acts 12:7-8  Read More
